OK something is definitely getting lost in translation here because where I come from that is not anything remotely like a salad. What's the American definition? Because I've seen some shit that looks like whipped cream and marshmallows and it's called "salad". Shouldn't it have something green in it, or at the very least fruit?

My grandma in law makes that jello ice cream. It's like vanilla bean ice cream whipped with some lime jello, I think that's all. It kind of has a mousse texture, sounds gross, but it's actually good for a light dessert.
